What'd You Get? - The Edition Where I Feel Like Crap
NihonTiger90 | 11:54 PM on 06.22.2009 21 comments


I think the best way to describe today is that I wish it never happened. Things went wrong, work was awful to the point that I dread going in tomorrow, even though I worked my ass off, and as a result, things in the near future might be in doubt. Also, it made What'd You Get? really, really late this week, but it's still here, so don't worry.

I didn't get anything this week, but I did lose my sanity and my headset's mic broke. So I get to post a net loss for the week, I guess. I did download Smashball and play it, and while the game's fun, it crashes way, way, way too much. That's a shame.

Anyways, that's it for me this week. What'd all of you get?

Tiger Woods 10 with Wii Motion Plus
DDR Konamix
Spyro The Dragon
Spyro: Year Of The Dragon
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (PS1)
Tiger Woods '99 (PS1)

Probably other stuff. I have a problem.
garison's Destructoid Blog
Aw, I hope things get better for you Nihon <3 Just remember that we here on the Destructoid network love you!

I got Let's Tap for the Wii and Odin Sphere for the PS2 in the mail today from Amazon.ca. I also got Digital Devil Saga 1 (just like A New Challenger) and Killer 7 from various trades from other Dtoid members. I'm pretty sure that's it.
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
Sorry about your week man.

I got:
Ape Escape 2
Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit PS2 (my wife and I are fans)
Way of the Samurai 1 (Thanks Tubatic!)
Getting Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires this week (First DW game I bought since 3)

@Challenger
W00t X-men Genesis!

@Garison
Play Odin Sphere asap: don't get discouraged! Just remember to farm fruit/money if you're having trouble.
Chocobo Knight's Destructoid Blog
Don't lose heart even if everything is hitting the wrong notes. It can't stay bad forever so it's good to focus on the good whenever possible. :)

Even though I shouldn't be spending money due to lack of job, I'll probably get a copy of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor for the DS some time this week. I'm still in the middle of Devil Summoner 2 so it might not be till the weekend until I play Devil Survivor. Regardless, I don't mind drifting happily in the Shin Megami Tensei sea. :)
ZServ's Destructoid Blog
Got a ps3 finally, picked up MGS4, hated it, returning it tomorrow, getting something else.
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
@Nihon
Did you just say....Smashball? As in SANRIO SMASHBALL? OMG BEST SPORTS GAME EVER!

If not, and you're talking about the HL2 mod, ignore me.

Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
Damn, I hope things go better at work, dude.

In the past few weeks I cleaned up on some older games that I never got around to, with the help of Goozex and Dtoid friends. I grabbed Operation Darkness, Gunstar Heroes, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Bioshock, Condemned 2, Resident Evil 5, and Mass Effect.

I just beat RE5 last night, and it was fuckin' awesome. I was ready for another playthrough on professional immediately afterward.

I got Dawn of War Platinum , Company of Heroes Gold and Mouth & Blade for 15$ :P

 about me




Oh, hi there. Didn’t see you enter. Anyways, welcome to my humble little blog. For those of you not familiar with who I am, the name’s Brian. I’m 23 years old and hail from Lorain, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. I work at the local newspaper here as a copy editor, putting my four long years of college to actual use. Kind of. I think.

For those of you who might recognize me from elsewhere, I work as Assistant Gaming Editor over at Blogcritics Gaming and as Features Editor over at Tomopop. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it because I get to do a lot of cool shit with a lot of cool people.

I've been gaming since the relatively young age of around 3 and I've played plenty of games, both good and bad. I'm continuously expanding my gaming collection, which has become more of an archive in recent years as I'm focusing on collecting older, less well-known titles. You'd honestly be surprised on what people are missing out on in bargain bins...



Other than gaming, I love anime, manga, sports, movies, TV, and a whole lot more. I also happen to have something of a legendary love for Cammy, to the point that I am the site's unofficial official Cammy fanboy. And yes, I do play as her in Street Fighter and do so quite well, too.

Also, I am Chad Concelmo's B.F.F., my prize for coming in first in The Great Retro Quiz .18 - ActRaiser. Accept no substitutes. Not even Aerox.
